Wednesday, November 12, 2025 -President Donald Trump has formally requested the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a jury verdict in the sexual abuse and defamation case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. Carroll accused Trump of assaulting her in the 1990s and subsequently making false statements denying the allegations.
The request comes after a jury awarded Carroll a substantial monetary judgment, holding Trump accountable for defamation and assault. Trump’s legal team argues that the verdict was legally flawed and claims constitutional issues should prevent the ruling from standing.
Legal experts note that Supreme Court intervention in such civil cases is rare, and the request signals a continued high-profile legal battle for the president. The case remains a focal point in national discussions on accountability, sexual misconduct, and the limits of public office immunity.
